Bad Men

Now in paperback--meet the most irresistible serial killer of the year in this wild romp of a feminist thriller in this novel that the Financial Times calls ＂Silence of the Lambs meets Sex and the City＂

It’s a hard job, but somebody’s got to kill them.

Saffy Huntley-Oliver is an intelligent and glamorous socialite; she also happens to be a proficient serial killer. For the past 15 years, she’s hunted down and dispatched rapists, murderers, domestic abusers--bad men all. But leading a double life has left her lonely--dating’s tough when your boyfriend might turn out to be your next victim.

Saffy thinks she’s finally found a truly good man in Jonathan Desrosiers, a true-crime podcaster who’s amassed legions of die-hard fans for cracking cold cases and bringing justice to victims.

When a decapitated body shows up on Jon’s doorstep the morning after his wife leaves him, he becomes the chief suspect for a murder he insists he didn’t commit. Saffy’s crush becomes an obsession as she orchestrates a meet-cute and volunteers to help Jon clear his name, using every trick up her sleeve to find the real killer and get her man--no matter the cost.

Darkly comic and addictively readable, Bad Men is a wild romp of a feminist thriller that asks if even a serial killer can have a happily ever after.
